Review :
Praise for I AM OTTER: "A bright and hilarious escapade about an otter who, bored while her owner's at work, opens a toast restaurant. Hysterical." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"This fully realized picture book captures warmth, imagination, and playfulness in the character of Otter." - School Library Journal
"Good-natured fun." - Booklist
"Garton's debut picture book does a bang-up job of introducing Otter. There's a lovely dimensionality and sense of physical comedy in Garton's digitally created artwork. Combined with Otter's winning brand of self-importance, it's plenty to propel her into future adventures." - Publishers Weekly
Praise for OTTER IN SPACE: "From "mishun control" to launch and liftoff, Garton's bright, shiny digital illustrations are full of sparkle and humor. Lively, giggle-producing proof that imaginative play is just as good as getting to the moon." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Another "Aw"-inspiring adventure with Otter." - School Library Journal
Praise for OTTER LOVES HALLOWEEN!: "The joyful chaos of everyday life with a child (or otter) permeates Garton's cartoons and should keep kids laughing from start to finish." - Publishers Weekly
"A delightful addition to early reader shelves." - School Library Journal
"The first Otter book in early reader format, this installment is a resoundingly successful transition. The short, concise sentences are ideal for novice readers, and genuine humor results from pairing the images with the simple text. Garton's soft illustrations have a gentle, soothing feel and represent a child-centric perspective. Otter is a truly charming protagonist who infuses these stories with just a bit of mischief and plenty of humor in the mix. A delightful addition to early reader shelves." - School Library Journal
"Otter's knack for getting into trouble will amuse younger children, while simple sentences make the book perfect practice for older kids who are learning to read." - Parents magazine
